A one-year starter at Utah, Brian Allen is one of the biggest, longest cornerbacks in the 2017 draft class. A former wide receiver, he looks the part of the physical press cornerback and has the long speed to turn and run deep with vertical threats. He flashed ball skills in his lone season starting, grabbing four interceptions.
He has excellent length (34" arms) and big hands (10"), and combined with his 38-inch vertical jump, he has one of the biggest coverage radiuses in the draft class. Allen is a high-upside player with awesome size, length and speed. Teams will be willing to bet on their ability to continue his development.
